Default RE: Two Blade Broadheads - Blood trail loss??

I have always believed that a narrow 2 blade head leaves very little room for error.When you hit an animal threw the lungs,it should' nt matter,but will it ?.I think you can get different " resulting" kills.Smaller head,slower bleed,,maybe a longer recovery distance.I took a doe last year with a single lung hit.She went about 80 yards and laid down.NOT knowing I only hit 1 lung, I started trailing her a bit too soon.
After I jumped her she made it about another 80 or 90 yards,before lying down for the last time.I do believe a 2 blade would have killed her as well as my T-Head,,but at slower bleed out,,,ESPECIALLY ON MY MARGINAL HIT,,which DOES happen from time to time, even to the best of them [:-]
Fred Bear once said," shooting a animal with a 4 blade head is like shooting with TWO arrows" .I' m sure he uttered these words right around the time HIS company put out their new broad head.
